Tires Falken or Laufenn

My car came with laufenn winter tires. I was initially a bit disappointed as I never heard that brand before but after research, realized they are a sub brand of Hankook, manufacturer of quality tires. The winter tires i have are really good, even in heavy snow never felt a loss of traction. Also pretty quiet.

I just replaced my AT3Ws with a set of AT4Ws (time for new new tires, no other reason) and to be fair neither of them looks very aggressive to me. That being said I absolutely love my Falkens and will probably never run anything else on my TJ.

Best tire I've ever ran is the Falken f-ice studded. I've now bought my 4th or 5th set. Low speed they're all pretty similar but the f ice handles highway speed surface changes with less drama than anything I've ever ran.

Falken Wildpeak AT4 in load range SL have been fantastic. I had older Duratraks on it before, and hated them.

Sailun Terramax AT2, or Falken Rubitrek AT01, only tires i will run on mine. The falkens are amazing on fuel economy and noise, Sailuns are cheaper and only slightly nosier, still good fuel economy.

My wife has the Wildpeak A/T on her Crosstrek, 225 tread width. Absolutely bonkers incredible tires, but the next set will be 215. In the snow, the narrower width cuts down noticeably better in deeper snow.

I just got the Falken Rubitrek and have to say I'm quite impressed with their wet weather and snow/ice handling. My truck feels glued to the road.

I just went through the same thing and ended up picking the wildpeaks. In my size i could only get E rated KO3s, and didnt want to go that heavy. I havent gotten out yet so cant speak to that, but on the road they dont feel much different to the OEM trailhunter tires. I actually think maybe a little worse in wet, but not to the point of being an issue (and its been pretty wet where im at)

A Laufenn tire may be made by Hankook, but it isn't the quality level of Hankook and isn't just the same tire with a different name on the side of it. I heard a Hankook rep joke he wouldn't put Laufenn tires on his ex-wifes car because they were just that bad.

Stock tires on my CrossTrek were Ziex Falkens and were done by 30k. But stock tires are crap for the most part
